I keep hearing good reviews about this show and it makes me wonder if I was watching a different programme.
You can tell that it was made by the Peaky Blinders team because all the cliches are there. Intrusive heavy metal music, pointless over-use of swearing (I'm no prude - I'm ex-miltary myself - but it adds little to the show) and even the "slow motion group walk towards the camera" is straight out of the PB playbook.
Peaky Blinders finished up imitating itself but Rogue Warriors has begun by imitating PB imitating itself.
The characters are more like caricatures and the overall effect is to create something that is un-credible, rather than incredible. The story is a great one, but it deserves so much better than this.
4 out of 10 is actually slightly generous.
